Instructions for pivot tables and charts

Feel free to play around; you can't break anything since whatever you change only affects your own viewing session. If you want to restart with the default settings, then just refresh the web browser page. If you want to save your customizations and reload them later, then see the instructions for Save and Open in the Supplementary functionality below.

Key functionality

Grid: Pivot table format

Charts: Various pivot chart formats

Fields:

Do not change the "Studies" dimension! It should remain selected in the "Drag Dimensions" box, and should be the only item in the "Drop & Arrange Values" box. The pivot tables and charts count individual studies (publications, whether journal articles, conference articles or theses); thus, you must leave this setting unchanged for the pivot tables and charts to work.

To view data fields, click and drag the fields you want to view from the "Drag Dimensions" box on the left into the appropriate box on the right:

Normally you will view data fields by row or by column.

You may also want to implement a 3D pivot table or chart by viewing data fields using report filters (the "Drop & Arrange Report Filter" box).
